Bob
For some reason I have not received your original mail, so excuse my piggy back on Don's reply. Firstly, 5kHz is a long way off ! If people called me 5kHz away, I probably would not hear them at all. Secondly, as Don says, the way the transverter works, with just the same one oscillator running for tx or rx, it is pretty much guaranteed not to shift between receive and transmit. So my guess is that you may have accidentally engaged the RIT or more likely the XIT, or perhaps the split frequency option. Everything you would do on 28MHz, your baseband for transverting, is faithfully reproduced on 144MHz.

Its local oscillator is running on the same frequency during receive and transmit. I would check the K3 28 MHz output to see if the same thing occurs. A guess -- It could be a mode thing. If the others are operating with CW in SSB, your K3 should be set similarly. The default for the K3 is for CW to be LSB - if others are operating with CW in USB, that could account for a difference if you are changing modes on the K3. The offset setting on the K3 is to account for any difference between the actual frequency and the K3 transverter band reading, and is applied to both transmit and receive. 73, Don W3FPR On 2/23/2013 10:08 AM, [email protected] wrote: > Howdy K3' people: > Made a few contacts on 2m now, SSB & CW.
